Class #1 Where do you go when you die?

What do you do that can be called "wrapping"? Give examples and reasons for your actions.
When i give a present for my friends or someone, I ask shop assistant wrapping. This reason why present is a not mine. I buy a something for a gift to my friend. So, I need wrapping.

Where do you go when you die?
I think we go to a completely different area? world?? from here.
When i was a child, my grand father died. My mother said to me, "Grandpa went to the field of flowers." I can meet my grand father at the field of flowers again when i die, I think.

Explain why do Japanese have death memorial services 1 month, 1 year, 3 years, 7 years, etc. after a person's death?
I'm not sure why do we death memorial services, i checked with 広辞苑.
At Japanese Buddhism, It is thought to "Death"="Newborn". So, we celebrate and grieve for the deceased 1 year, 3 years, 7 years, etc.
I think we have death mamorial services for we dont forget person who died.

Class #2 Death and Funerals

1.Death and Funerals:
a. Do you have any international friends or a host family? If so, how would you express your condolences to them if a family member died? If not, then how would you express condolences to an American host family if their Grandmother died?
- Yes, i do. I have my host family in UK. If my host family member died, i will feel really sad. And i want to say "Thank you" to the person who died.
b. Have you ever been to a foreign funeral?
No, I haven't. I have ever been some Japanese funerals.

2. The language of Clothes (preparation for next weeks topic):
a.Why are Japanese designer label crazy? Why is what you wear so important?
-I'm not sure why are Japanese designer label crazy exactly... I think most Japanese people think high-bland things are good. and I think it is look nice to have designer labels.
I don't have a beautiful face, nice body type and etc... So, clothes are important for me!! I want to be a fashionable person.


b.What does “Don’t judge a book by it’s cover.” mean to you?
For example, there is a woman has black hair, wearing glasses, has any accessaries...etc.
Some people might think "She must be a power tool(gari-ben)! She always just study!!"
But...actually, she works in a cabaret club every night!!!
Its "Don't judge a book by it's cover." I think.
